Thanks ladies, am really not sure but tempted to stick with every three days. I think both e3d's @ e4d's would be too late as at the very latest I will o tomorrow night and highly likely before then. So bding tomorrow pm would fit with e3d's but still an ineffective an attempts as will be too late. Realistically I think I would need to BD tonight but that would only be 48 hours between attempts and at one my third month trying it is too much blue terrority. I just seem to have opted for the wrong method each month, the past two months I went with at positive OPK but due to no egg symbol on the clear blue fertility monitor I then moved to e4d's, with hindsight June and July I would have been better opting for e4d's from the start but this month I went for e4d's from the start and would have been better to have waited for positive OPK this month. Suppose turns the brakes! How long do average sperm hang around? I know they can survive for something like 5 days but what is usual life span? I think I read it was only one or two days at most? Any chance from an attempt on early hours of Saturday morning with possible ovulation Monday? I just have a feeling my dh swimmers don't hang around!

I think I would be tempted to have an extra attempt tonight if I were u. As you have a good strong positive opk which have not been getting lately.

This is only my opinion and totally your choice in what you prefer to do.
I have definitely had 2 attempts in fertile window this month, as i feel that I now just want to get pregnant!
I think this 6 months of ttc have really helped with my gender desire

Let us know what you decide! (I'm so nosy!!)xxx

You're facing 2 attempts anyway if you do E3D and go with tomorrow early morning (before kids wake up) or tomorrow night. If you're worried it will be too late, then I would opt for tonight.

The thing is, you're trying to make things fit with what you want to do. It's not going to be a "pink" attempt. Worrying about it is not going to help. Flip a coin and go with what the coin says. Heads you have an attempt tonight, and tails you have an attempt tomorrow. No matter what you do, you've got to find peace with it. I get the impression from you that if you attempt tonight, you're going to stew over it being too blue. As well as if you wait to attempt until tomorrow sometime, you're going to stew over possibly missing the egg. You see, you're setting yourself up for unnecessary disappointment. Make a decision and don't look back. Working yourself up over this is going to sway far more blue than any attempt will!

I gotta say though, having attempts over 2 days is mighty blue. If you ovulate today, the egg stays around 12-24 hours. You may have already released the egg. Flip that coin and put it out of your mind [emoji6]!

I'm trying to not get my hopes up, since I've had good looking charts before that were BFNs. However, it's making feel like things are finally settling down hormonal wise for me postpartum. My DS3 breastfeeds 6-7 times a day now with one feeding overnight and solids twice a day. I've now been able to reduce my calories to 1500-1600 with 50-60g protein and 40-50g fat. This is my sweet spot! The cardio had been kinda hit and miss with 4-5 times a week now that our closing date is approaching at the end of this week. I'll be lucky to fit it in and hope to get my 6 days in before Friday when we close on the house!

Thanks everyone, I think am going to stick with e3d and leave it tonight, I think tomorrow night will be too late, so will still keep me with one attempt. Jennypenny if I had been trying for six months I would be defo adding attempts but it is only month 3, I sort of feel that if I got an egg symbol once I can get it again! Your so right xxforhubby but I think I will stew less about missing the egg than about sway been too blue if you know what I mean? With not attempting tonight the worst outcome is another missed month and have dealt with that, if I attempt and get pregnant high chance of it been a boy and I know I would be disappointed as this is my last baby and I would be annoyed that I did not wait. Thanks for all your input, I really appreciate it!

When are you testing xxforhubby? What stage are others at?

[XXforhubby]

I will be testing either Thursday (11dpo) or Friday (12dpo) morning. AF should arrive Saturday or Sunday. We will be moving on Saturday so I hope to know before then to know how much I can do.

I just don't feel pregnant. It's weird- I haven't had a huge increase in appetite that I normally get in the 2ww. It's been real easy for me to stick to the no snacking part. I guess that's why I don't think I'll get a BFP this cycle. I think my hormones are still balancing out. Who knows though!

Girlie something to keep in mind. I had a lot of other girl factors to be fair but when I got pregnant with my youngest DD it was "blue" timing. You have to live with whatever you decide but if you have been on the girl sway long enough and doing all that you can, even DTD tonight gets you a good chance of a daughter of you have done well on your sway otherwise

[Pink Pony]

What would u say was your girl key factors as far as LE lifestyle goes since you have 3 girls? Thanks

[Girlieplease]

Thanks burakoam, seems the universe has intervened ds2 is not settling so is in our bed, he has been waking every half an hour, baby making plans are defo out the window!
Any chance that the swimmers from early Saturday morning will hang around? X

What I ate. I had enough protein in the form of milk and other forms of dairy but lacked it in the form of red meat, chicken, etc. I had days where I'd eat one or two small meals and that's it. i am 5'1 and when I conceived my 10 year old I was 115 pounds max... When I conceived my 2nd I was closer to 110 pounds. So the small side. With my current youngest I was 120 pounds and going long periods of time between meals and no snacking because I worked night shift hours. I was doing cardio but no kind of weight lifting at all.

With the father of my first two he and I only saw each other when he felt like it and so I also didn't have sex often. One attempt within fertile window both times and I didn't even know anything about fertile Windows back then lol... I just know that's how little we were 'together'. Lots of chocolate and lots of sweets. My sodium and caffeine intake were also very high all 3 times.

However with my youngest my husband and I DTD when we got the positive OPK, the next morning and night, and the next morning and night after that. A boy tactic. She is still all girl so it had to be the way I ate and excersise patterns.

Gotta say I'm also not like most boy moms personality wise. I'm very submissive, meek, shy, and awful at standing up for myself. I normally let things roll off my shoulders or attempt to ignore things instead of fight them. However personality is a hard thing to change so hopefully diet and excersise can do it for most
